Hardly. I think you would strangle a man that tried to do that for you. But also half this crew has no idea how to address each other far as I can tell.

Be sure to whack him up the back of his head if he gets obstinate. Or extra push ups. I find it helps. Certainly served me well when I was... similarly idiotic.

[She's not going to think about Corvo Attano being 'similarly idiotic'. It's too weird. Easier to think of him as some strange cutout of a man with no real similarity to actual people.]

The Garrus Vakarian you know is a little more limited here. He steps too far out of line and it's not his life that he's worried about, but his planet.

Point is, I'm not gonna stop protecting. But you and I both bumped against the edge here. I've got to walk a narrow line, and I just got reminded the other day that I'm not great at narrow.
[Literally, when he fell off a tiny bridge.]

Know you haven't let Grey stop you from caring or helping. You don't have to worry about me giving up either, Lydia.

Say someone's cell freezes up in the middle of something. As it is, I can suggest to Reiner that we back them up, then he can consider all that's going on and make that call.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
If I had a cell, I could make the call on my own. Move, depending on what circumstances are going on. I have to wait now. I can't do what I think needs to be done based on my own judgement.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
I don't have the resources I did just a few days ago. It's like my hands have been tied together. And there is info I've got from being a level one that I can't share.

[ That briefly wrinkled frown goes mostly unnoticed as he's suddenly bombarded with questions. They aren't even very difficult ones, just unexpected and.. well, he hadn't really given most of them much thought. He's still getting used to the idea of being a leader, even for a group so small. ]
I don't really know about makin' a... a plan. They're not all fire users but close, all but one, the only Longhorn outta a bunch of Leapfrogs. They're all real strong in their own ways... pretty sure they're all stronger than me, actually. I don't think they'll give me much trouble...
[ And even if he did, he's not sure how much he can share with Shepard. There is no gag order placed against sharing Cell details with anyone on Grey, but he already knew a few things about his team that should be kept between them, for trust's sake. Still, the uncertainty of his new role weighs heavily in his words and posture. He grips the bowstring at this chest even tighter and glares down at the ground, unable to meet her questioning look. ]
I've never been a leader for anythin' or anyone before.

The resources you're talking about are useless and I'd bet a million credits that whatever intelligence you have from your level 1 status is the same.
FROM: shepard.lydia@cdc.org
There are 8 officers in this crew. Gliese is the only recruit left from her first assignment. Do the math, Garrus. Chasing the command structure and the intel it may or may not offer doesn't keep anyone safe.
FROM: shepard.lydia@cdc.org
A unit lead might be able to jump in if something minor goes to hell, but you're talking about slapping a bandage on a field amputation. You don't need rank backing you to teach people to take care of themselves.

You'll be fine.
[It's an off the cuff remark, sincere in how easily it comes - like it shouldn't mean anything to say it, butting right up against the edge of being dismissive about what clearly look like concerns in his posture. The hesitation isn't a point of worry. Who wouldn't be wary in this environment? This is like throwing someone in white water rapids and expecting them to learn how to swim.
But she's leaning forward now, that worn look in her face layered under something sharper, something more alert now.]
But you can't work effectively if you don't know what you're working with, understand me? If you're responsible for those people and what they're supposed to do down the road, you need to make sure you give yourself the best chance to know how to make whatever gets handed to you happen.

[ It's a lot of things he doesn't understand all at once, and he's barely gotten started. But he has worked on a small, close-knit team before. He wasn't a leader among them, but the situation isn't as foreign as he thinks. And it's like Shepard says, he just needs to know what he's working with. Except he would tweak that, just slightly... he wants to know who he's working with too.
He's still looking away when he speaks, glaring slightly as if to cover his nervousness with anger. The usual. ]
Well, I'm glad you're back. Any advice you have to give... I'll listen.
[ Listen, but not necessarily take, and edit, like he's already quietly doing. She's still on Grey, for reasons he still doesn't understand, especially as a Commander in her own world. But the last time he brought it up, she'd nearly bitten his head off for asking. He still trusts her, still remains curious, but there is hesitation too. ]
How did you get to know your team, when you were commandin'?
